Connecting the Power Source - Outdoor Models
Warning: All electrical components and connection methods
must comply with all applicable national and local electrical
codes including installation by qualified personnel. These codes
may require a junction box installed on controller’s 1/2" (13mm)
NPT nipple and a means in the fixed wiring of disconnecting
AC power having a contact separation of at least 0.120" (3mm)
in the line and neutral poles. The connection wire must have
insulation rated @ 105° C min.
The controller must be connected to a grounded power source.
Do not connect to one phase of a 3-phase power supply used by
a pump or other electrical equipment.
Prior to connecting controller wiring, verify that power has been
turned off at the source by using an AC volt meter.
Steps
1. Install a 1/2" (13mm) NPT conduit body to the transformer threaded
fitting. From the conduit body, install electrical conduit routing to the
AC power source (per electrical code).
2. Pull 14 AWG through the conduit into the conduit body.
3. Using twist-on wire connectors, attach the mating wires as shown in
Figure 9.
4. Close and secure the conduit body cover.
